sounds to me like you already figured it out

 

so you think someone just powder coated the engine? i was thinking maybe it wasnt the engine that came off the bike at all....ok guess so

 

Check the engine # and vin # with the title, you probably should of done both when you bought the bike. Most likely he just painted it because he dropped it.

 

your lucky. black engines look cool.

your != you're

Got Engrish?

 

Pics? c'mon.. no pics?

 

and where exactly are the engine numbers? and why in the world is the vin on a sticker??? dont they stamp these beasts like the rest of the companies? I'll try and use my roommates camera to get some pics, no plastics on it as of now. the dude did a really crappy primer job over the original job and didnt even clean them first....i have my work cut out for me....
